Apart from activating indicators
blinking when power liftgate is
operated, it is also possible to activate
a sound warning by selecting the
relevant function within MTC+ user
settings (see “MTC+ Settings” in
section “Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”).
When power liftgate edge reaches the
car body, the motor locking the latch is
activated automatically.
If necessary, the power liftgate can
also be opened or closed manually
using the handles indicated in the
picture. This operation could be
required when the liftgate remains
open for a long period of time. NOTE:
Frequent activations of the anti-pinch
protection function may disable the
automatic movement of the power
liftgate. To reactivate this function,
perform a reset cycle by carrying out a
complete opening/closing sequence,
after manually closing the power
liftgate.
WARNING!
• Activate power liftgate only when
vehicle is at a standstill.
• Always pay utmost attention when
opening and closing the tailgate. If
for any reason the protection system
might fail to respond, it could cause
injury to anyone within the
operating area.
• After the closing command, always
make sure that power liftgate is
completely closed.
CAUTION!
• Under extreme weather conditions,
liftgate seal could freeze and
compromise power liftgate
automatic opening and closing. • Before opening power liftgate, make
sure that no objects or snow are set
on liftgate or might jam or prevent
its opening.
Hands Free Power Liftgate Release
and Closing
This mode is
controlled by the “Passive
Entry” system (see paragraph “Passive
Entry System” in this section), which
automatically releases and closes the
power liftgate when you place your
foot in the area under the rear
bumper.
The system will only operate if the
system acknowledges the presence of
the key fob RKE transmitter within 3.3
ft (1 m) of the power liftgate.
The range of the sensors that detect
your foot movement extends along
and underneath the central portion of
the rear bumper.
To activate the power liftgate, stand
behind the vehicle, near the liftgate,
and move your foot under the bumper
as if to kick something. Do not place
your foot too close to the bumper or
touch the underbody.
